 | Plan of Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1637. Cambridge was the prototype (though it was not consciously imitated) for one kind of New England village pattern - the compact, "squared" community. In this pattern gridiron streets were normally employed, the home lots were usually small in comparison to the farm fields, and some kind of central open space or market formed a distinct center for the settlement.

 | Plan of New Haven, Connecticut, 1748. This town, founded in 1638, was the most regular of the compact or "square" settlements in the American colonies. Among the features of the compact village illustrated here are the centrally located open square, often used as a marketplace and the site of public buildings, and the gridiron pattern of streets. Around the town itself were the farm fields of the inhabitants, along with common pasture and woodlands. The New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024. In John W.

“I have been attending these sessions since the early 1990's when it was originally held at UCD on Saturday's. The knowledge and information gained is stored in binders and utilized yearly by myself and other staff members at CKMcClatchy. Teaching would have been difficult without all the ideas generated by the wonderful presenters. My heartfelt thanks.”
